Jessica & Brian’s Flinn Springs County Park Wedding

THE LOVE STORY

Jessica and Brian met in fifth grade. Separate middle schools kept them apart, but they were reunited in high school. A friendship developed during those years and even a bit of a crush. They wrapped up high school as each other’s prom dates but went in separate directions afterwards. Over the years, they drifted in and out of each other’s lives. Finally the timing was right, and this couple made it official!

On September 25, 2016, Brian & Jessica were camping in Yosemite. It was on the last day of their trip, on the way out of the park when Brian got down on one knee next to the Merced River and surprised Jessica with a ring!

Together, they enjoy hiking, camping, playing with their Great Dane, Sequoia, movie nights, and enjoying the local craft beer scene.

THE CEREMONY

Jessica & Brian’s ceremony took place at the lower area under the oak trees. The prelude music was by the Vitamin String Quartet. The processional song was an instrumental cover of “Take Me to Church” by Hozier. The bride entered to a guitar cover of “Here Comes the Sun.” After the officiant (the bride’s brother) said they could seal their vows with a kiss, text, or Facetime, I played the Vitamin String Quartet’s cover of Jason Mraz’ “I’m Yours.”

THE FLINN SPRINGS COUNTY PARK WEDDING RECEPTION

The couple was officially welcomed to “Shipping Up to Boston” (instrumental version) by the Dropkick Murphys. After sliders from their food truck, toasts, and parents dances, we took a group photo on the dance floor and a “Longest Married Couple” dance to kick off dancing.
